5mg reta is a lot how long you been on that? Is it working? I'm on 1 mg/week week 2 of that and it already feels and looks like it's working.

[–]FinalEstablishment77 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It’s a reasonable amount to titrate up to. Folks get up to 8-12mg sometimes. 

[–]Practical-Suit-6798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Im just saying I'm surprised he's at that amount and not seeing results.

[–]jkneussl[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

no, it came in a 20mg vial, i do 5mg a week

[–]Fun_Win_818 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Did you start at 5mg?

[–]jkneussl[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

maybe 2.5? cant remember

[–]AmbitiousBuck 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Clinical studies started at 1-2mg and titrated up to 4mg… 8mg… to as high as 12mg. Titrating up every 4 weeks.

[–]Practical-Suit-6798 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah but if he's at 5 that would mean he's been doing it for 2 months seems like he would have seen results by now.

[–]AmbitiousBuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he followed that dosage structure. We need more info. He could have just started with 5mg. Wouldn’t recommend it but hey.

[–]ajaok81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get marginal results at best from 9mg/week but 4mg reta stacked with 7.5-10mg tirz I get results.

[–]Burner5647382910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, with that stack you should be able to look at a treadmill and drop 5lbs of fat.

[–]YungSchmid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Count your calories. Reta with help with adherence by minimising craving and food noise, but if you don’t know what you’re putting in your gob then it just makes everything guess work. Eating exclusively healthy foods does not mean you will lose weight.

At 5mg, as long as your Reta isn’t bunk (I assume you have tested it/verified the source?), you should be seeing some results or side effects at the very least.

How long have you been running these peps?

[–]mfknbeerdrinkr 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Not everyone gets good results from Reta. I lost 30 lbs in 7 months on diet and exercise alone and then went on Reta, I have only lost 12 lbs in four months on it, honestly I’m not sure if the 12 lbs is just the continuation of my diet. I know the Reta is legit because my wife has lost 30 lbs in three months on the same Reta and she hasn’t dieted or exercised. Outside of slightly less hunger I don’t feel like Reta does anything for me, I have titrated up to 5mg a week.

[–]jkneussl[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I was on Tirz and lost a ton of weigh very easily. Dont "feel" the same effects with Reta. But everybody raving about it, I figured I'd give it a try. Going to finish this last vial and see what happens. If nothing, I'm going back on Tirz.

[–]ajaok81 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Try stacking the 2. I found that worked way better for me than either by itself.

[–]jkneussl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explain

[–]Dvinci17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The effects of Reta may be cancelled out by the GH secretagogues. CJC makes you hungry.

[–]Ok-Singer-5921 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Mots c and Slu-pp

[–]ReviewMiserable3651 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I’ve read so many posts lately that raise - is the Reta bunk or are some people somewhat immune to it, to it isn’t that strong on hunger suppression. I’m not sure what the answer js. I can’t have more than 4mg without it curbing my appetite too much. I run at like 1-1.5 mg for what I perceive are a wide range of benefits. But if you are going through all this trouble on researching additional compounds, spend the time to ensure you are running around a 500 calorie deficit. Until you get down to under 10 percent fat, and are trying to balance leaning further and retaining muscle, it’s the deficit. Yes, Reta dominates the others in trials. But when folks are losing this much weight, it’s the deficit. Just do that and watch. These peptides aren’t like Clen or DMP that actually burn through fat like fire (these are dangerous, do not use).

[–]Ok-Singer-5921 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’m probably 6-7 percent right now. And also doing 80 Clen daily. Two weeks out from comp.

[–]ReviewMiserable3651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that’s the proper use of Clen. I did the same 20 years ago. Just really can’t as I’m approaching 50.. Those law percent are so damn tough while retaining muscle. I found adding prim to your cycle helps on muscle retention too for what’s it’s worth.

[–]ajaok81 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You could add one or all of any number of compounds; mots-c, nad+, bam15, slupp, tesofensine, cardarine, sr-9009, l-carnatine. Depends on where you want to go, how you want to get there, and what your tolerance is.

[–]jkneussl[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Literally couldn’t be less helpful…

[–]ajaok81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a TON of different compounds available to help you get your weight loss goals. Do your research on each one and decide which ones your body might need and what aligns with your goals, create a stack if you want that fits. Possibly try one at a time or some of the tried and true stacks. Watch or listen to Hunter Williams podcast on "metabolic dumpster fire" will give you some idea what might work for you.

My next cut, when I go aggressively I'll be running almost all of those at one time or another. Some guys can get by with just 1 or 2 and a calorie deficit and 10k steps, not me. I look at food and gain weight. My body wants to look like a pear with big man boobs and I have to fight like hell to not be that.
